Sharlow's Scratchpad

A collection of notes, talks, jottings, and drafts from the desk of Mark F. Sharlow. Not to be confused with my blog, The Unfinishable Scroll,
which (despite its title) contains mostly finished stuff. For still more of my writings, see my home page.

(Warning to the reader: The
writings on this Scratchpad are not finished articles, but are in various states of incompleteness. Some of the ideas
are presented without full argument. If I write something more
complete I'll
try to post
it somewhere else.)
